Your Voice Counts

Your Voice Counts is a charity that works across the North East to provide support to people with learning disabilities, autistic people and people who are at risk of exclusion due to disability, illness or other challenges. 

We provide a range of independent statutory and community advocacy services to help people who need support to be involved in important decisions about their lives (including their care, treatment and housing plans), making sure their wishes are heard and their rights are upheld. 

All our services are free, confidential and independent. If you or someone you know needs support to speak up please visit our website or get in touch to see if we can help. 

We also design and deliver a range of community-based services for people with learning disabilities and autistic people that empower people to improve their personal circumstances by supporting them to address issues they are facing and work towards objectives that improve their health and wellbeing.
